I thought by 2035 or whatever it is millions of EV's will be on the road? What gives? (S)

What I dread is mandatory EVs for citizens now that government ones are forced on us.

They’ll deny gas stations and oil companies the right to exist and deny us the government money to EV purchasers.

If technological civilization is allowed to continue to develop, electric everything is a distinct possibility. Eventually.

But it's not worth discussing at this point, because on top of everything else, the government is deliberately sabotaging our electrical infrastructure.

“People hesitate to buy a new car if there’s uncertainty in the economy,” Musk reportedly said on a post-earnings call.”

Like that’s the only reason. How about a lot of people are hearing about how awful EV’s are. Buyers are reporting real life experiences with EV’s and they suck.

Way overpriced, lousy range, poor charge times, laughable ability for the grid or power generation to support them, and close to zero resale value. Hmmm, I wonder if that might be the reason.

I see Tesla and Blink charging stations going up in commercial parking lots around my area. Your tax dollars at work; but it will be a long time if ever the average supermarket will need 12-15 chargers at any given time. Then again they will be on the map for suckers from miles around in desperate need, so maybe they expect some new customers, doing some shopping while their cars charge up.

Well......Big Government has stated they will start building and opening retail stores in the inner cities, the same places Big Government has ruined and chased out private retailers. Soon it will no longer be ‘news’ that Walgreens, CVS, Target, Walmart, etc have closed stores.

So, will Big Government start producing their own EVs? The UAW is on strike, in part due to the ridiculous EV mandates. I can just see the Hussein/Biden Regime ‘hiring’ all the unemployed auto workers to produce the government EVs. General Motors (GM) will become Government Motors. The GM EVs will be similar in size to the not so Smart Car.

Some of the democRAT controlled parts of the country will mandate purchase of the GM cars.

The democRATS refuse to increase the electricity supply while mandating use of electricity (cars, lawnmowers, stoves, etc). Their ultimate goal, as usual, is control. Once everyone has to purchase an EV, rationing of electricity is next. You will have carbon footprint limits: daily, weekly, monthly, yearly, and yes, lifetime. If you go over your daily or weekly ration limit, you can ‘borrow’ from your lifetime limit. Once your lifetime limit is reached, be sure to keep your bicycle in good shape.

Since EVs are the second or third car in a household, the buyers have the dollars to spend. They probably have one or more ICE auto/trucks to use when needed.

I just remembered a great example of the liberal entitlement mindset of many EV buyers. There is a video of this. This man has his garage door open as he is doing some weekend chores. He has a Tesla charger on the wall of his garage. This lady he has never met drives up and plugs HER Tesla in to charge. He tries to explain this is not a public charging station, but she doesn’t care. She has her Tesla. She is ‘saving the planet’ and is entitled to the electricity.

I also just remembered the EV bidirectional charging mandate of several democRAT States. Bidirectional charging means the State can take the energy in your EV and use it in the grid ‘when necessary.’ Kalifornia has legislation to mandate that every EV have this feature. They state that in an electricity/power crisis, they must have access to all the EVs, to all that power stored in each EV. Just imagine, you plug in your EV at dinner time, fully expecting to drive to work in the morning. You wake up and Big Brother has taken the electricity. From each, according to their need. They decided they need it more than you do.

A huge EV factory is going up north of Kokomo, Indiana. I have predicted that it is doomed to failure, and this article leds credence to that prediction.

The current state of technology with EV’s makes them nothing more than expensive toys. Until a massive leap is made in battery technology that’s all they’ll remain.

How about the fact that EVs blow up real good when they get wet? What’s that? Only when it’s salt water? Have you ever heard of hurricanes?!

Not looking forward to dealing with hurricanes AND electric cars—on the road or in parking garages and driveways when they blow up and start fires.

These darn EV things shouldn’t be on the road.

Marshall, Michigan has a 2,500 acre site being built for a Ford battery plant. It was full steam till a couple weeks back. I think construction has been all but halted.

EVs make sense in Europe because mass transit is more common there. It is more densely populated over there. America is huge and spread out. Like Russia. They’re not using EVs in Russia.
